[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m confused. If the UC schools don’t look at test scores or 9th grade grades, and limit the number of AP/equivalent “lifts” that each kid can get to 8, then how do they actually select students? Because it seems to me that there would be a large number of applicants with unweighted 4.0s (or near enough) who also have taken the maximum allowed APs. So how do they pick a class?[/quote] The applications list 9th grade grades, as well as any APs taken beyond the eight. They include activities lists (for which the quality of the interpretation by students varies). They include lists of honors (and the level of the honors varies). They include several different essays that reveal all kinds of information about the student and how they think and how they write. Students list their desired majors. Sometimes their classes and activities and honors match up well with those majors, and sometimes they don't.[/quote]
